After falling asleep again, they'd both been slept for another one hour. Ivan woke up and felt dizzy then he heard Fredrick said it may be because he didn't use to take an airplane.
Well, that was the truth. Ivan had never been on an airplane before in his last life. Luckily, although this was the first time he had been on one, he didn't have any motion sickness like the other. He had only this dizziness due to not used to sleeping on the airplane.
They traveled for another 10 hours without any delay. They arrived at the international airport in C country around 11 o'clock in the morning due to the time zone difference.
After they completed the procedure, Ivan thought of renting an apartment for 2 weeks but he got told that a certain someone had a house here, so they didn't need to stay anywhere else.
Ivan thought for a moment and agreed to live with Fredrick because this way he also could save some money for the company. How excellent was he as an employee?
Fredrick's house, to be specific a condominium was located in the first ring of the Coulaque City, a capital city of C country, where all the business bloomed and the richest of the rich gathered.
It turned out the condominium building positioned itself right in the middle of three tall buildings which formed a triangle of Godrick Group building, Radford Group building, and Schneider Group building.
It was an hour's ride from the airport to where Fredrick's condominium was. They finally settled down roughly at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Fredrick led Ivan to the top floor of the building where the restaurant was.
They had a C country-style lunch which was similar to what he had seen most of Europea ate in their country. The food was very good as expected of a 7-star restaurant. This kind of thing could only be achievable due to the presence of Fredrick.
If he were alone, he would have grabbed some street foods or the convenience store's food to go to. Whenever Ivan looked at Fredrick, he still had the feeling of being in a dream.
Thus, it always made him think like 'How could someone who was so perfect interested in a very ordinary person such as himself?' or 'Will this perfect disappeared one day when he realized that he's wasting on someone who didn't match his status?'
While Ivan was in his thought, he didn't notice the man stop eating instead kept staring at him like he was prey. Fredrick discovered that after they had eaten a few dishes, Ivan was lost in his thought and his eyes remained looking at him.
When Fredrick looked back at Ivan and their eyes locked together. No one dared to move away nor broke the eye contact. Fredrick felt a sudden stir in his heart and he felt like he could know what Ivan was thinking right now just by looking at his eyes.
From what he saw now, he knew that being with him still appeared to be unreal for Ivan. Fredrick didn't know what to do to make Ivan believes him and believes in reality. 'Does he think that being his boyfriend or his lover is not secure his heart enough?'
Fredrick paused his thought a little bit and focused his eyes sight on Ivan again. He got this unexpected thought when his mind emerged the word 'Wife' out of the blue. He eyed Ivan again and made sure this wasn't an impulsive thought because he'd been waiting for a few months.
Nonetheless, his heart was beating faster when he thought of Ivan as his wife. This feeling was hard to describe but the thrilled that he felt it was definitely real.
Now there was this thought, he needed to plan things in advance before Ivan went back to the country.
As Fredrick was busy with his planning, Ivan came back to sense he heard the waiter announced the arrival of the dessert and also Fredrick.
They finished lunch at 2:00 PM. Right now they were back at Fredrick's condominium and were having leisure time in the living room.
Fredrick pulled something out of his pocket and put it in Ivan's hand. It turned out it was the key to his condominium and the identity card of the resident of this building. The building didn't allow outsiders came in easily. If they were the resident here, then they would have an ID card for their units.
While Fredrick was explaining the rule of the building to Ivan, a sudden ringtone disturbed them. They looked at each other wondering whose phone it was. Then Ivan realized that it was his phone.
So he hurried over to where he put his backpack. He took the phone out of the front pocket, and he saw the caller's ID 'Secretary Lance.'
He picked up the call and walked back to sit down near Fredrick on the sofa in the living room.
"Hello, Lance!"
"Yeah! By the way, where are you? Haven't you arrived at the assigned hotel?"
"Oh! Actually, I was invited by Mr. Radford to stay at his place for these 2 weeks."
"Where?"
Ivan looked at Fredrick that seemed to ask whether he could tell Lance the address. Fredrick nodded indicated that he didn't mind.
"I'm staying in one of the condominiums in the RGS building."
"RGS?"
From Lance's shout, he seemed to be very surprised when he heard the name of the building.
"What's wrong with RGS?"
"You don't know? It stands for Radford, Godrick, and Schneider. The Giant Three family of our A country?"
"So?"
"Lemme tell you, if you stay there, don't ever forget to bring that resident ID card with you. Otherwise, no matter how you plead them or no matter who you are except the well-known people, they won't let you in."
"Okay, I will note on that."
After a few more sentences, Ivan ended the phone. He said goodnight to Fredrick because a long-distance journey made him quite tired.
Fredrick also wanted Ivan to rest early, so they went their own way. He just noticed how tired he was when his body laid on the soft bed. Ivan fell asleep immediately when he found a comfortable position.
The following three days that Ivan couldn't adapt to the time of C country, he fell ill. Fredrick nearly had his soul disappeared when he came back home on the third night and happened to see the unconscious Ivan on the floor in the living room.
He urgently ordered his family's doctor to get to his house as fast as possible. Luckily, the doctor was near, so he came here as fast as he could. He was never been this fast even though his patient once nearly in their death door. He thought that his highness had a severe injury or disease but he told to diagnose someone else.
However, he didn't dare to complain because he knew his highness, so he just did his job and goodbye.
In the end, Ivan got no serious illness like Fredrick, just a simple cold and due to not being able to adapt to the weather change here. He just needed to rest for a few days, and he would be fine as new again.
During Ivan's recovery, he was now sure about his answer. Fredrick took care of him every day, even cooked for him. Although the food wasn't as fancy nor tasty as restaurant food, he would always give a comment to Fredrick on how his cooking taste.
Ivan finally recovered on the third day. He got full energy and invited Fredrick to go out and play. They went sightseeing around the famous historical and tourist site, went to an amusement park in the afternoon and so on.
Ivan played until he running out of energy and got Fredrick to give him a piggyback ride when they walked back to the parking lot. At night, Fredrick helped Ivan message his leg muscles because it was so sore that he couldn't sleep.
Soon the 2 weeks trip and management had ended. Tomorrow Ivan needed to go back to A country but Fredrick still had some works here in C country so they couldn't travel back together.
Fredrick promised him that he would finish his work as fast as possible. Fredrick let Ivan took his private jet back to A country.
Ivan refused because if he took the jet, what about Fredrick? Fredrick said he could just take the first-class flight back, so Ivan didn't need to worry about him.
Fredrick sent Ivan to the airport and took a moment that there was nobody in the VIP lounge, he kissed Ivan on a lip. Fredrick took advantage of Ivan's reaction, he leaned to whisper in Ivan's ear.
"I love you, kitty! Wait for me at our home!"
Then Fredrick hurried and walked out of the VIP lounge to proceed to do his work. Ivan still stood silly there, he was stunned at the moment their lip touched.
He lifted his hand to gently touch his lip and smiled slightly, "Stupid man!".
